Coxburg M. P. Church Cemetery, Holmes County, Mississippi

Coxburg M. P. Church is located in the Holmes County community of Coxburg. My mother always told me that almost all my ancestors on her side of the family are buried in the cemetery beside this church. And she was so right. The cemetery is filled with the graves of Netherland and Trigleth family members, as well as inter-related families with the names of Hoover, Killebrew, Payne, Thomas, and Wallis. To read more about the Netherland and Trigleth families, visit Mississippi Memories.
